The crew is alleged to have dropped at least one anchor to slow the ship's travel.  If that anchor on the bow caught enough to drag, the current would carry the stern out toward the channel, achieving the same apparent hard right turn. The momentum of the ship, in addition to the current pushing it, would carry it forward into the support column.

Does that get me off the conspiracy theorist list now?
I wouldn't call it a conspiracy theory,  just a possible scenario.  It seems hackers can do amazing things remotely and your theory probably isn't that far out there.
